Et voila! Perfect example of keeping a perfect spreadsheet... on the left nothing is right, and on the right nothing is left!

should be the motto of our country

Take note that many of the years in this report the PLP was not the Government, I just thought I would point that out, Because of the stink PLP rug statement. Now that they know what the problems are they should make haste to correct the situation. Put some professional people in there who know how to run an accounting system, It is my hope that no one has stolen any money.

who cares. its like with kids. They want to grow up, fine. But stop putting th blame on your parents. If a new government takes over, they take over the good, the bad and the ugly. Tough shit. But then, yes, professional people need to be involved. as we lack a lot of well educated people, maybe we should start hiring ethical people.

COB's failure on many fronts is the legacy of the likes of Franky Wilson aka Snake and Alfred Sears. As I've said before, just about everyone knows that a costly degree from COB today is not worth wiping your can with! Even your very worst colleges and universities in Florida are quite capable of producing annual audited financial statements on a timely basis. The dean of COB's business school should be given the boot along with all the members of COB's Council and Administration.

u just sayin that to annoy birdie, right?

If you have sense don't enrol in this scam place

When you lay down with dogs you wake up with flees...

University of the Bahamas. Am sure we can make some money as a title mill.

Okay Comrades, what in hell are COB teaching their accounting students registered in the
following accounting courses: I presume these are not Degree Accredited Courses? I think the Tribune might be publishing fictional stories. You'd have ask if it's the Bank of Bahamaland, or the Ministry of Finance, who are the one's hiring their graduates?
Course Code Course Title
ACCA105 Financial Accounting I
ACCA205 Financial Accounting II
ACCA300 Intermediate Financial Accounting
ACCA305 Intermediate Financial Accounting II
ACCA310 Management Accounting
ACCA313 Cost Accounting
ACCA315 Accounting Theory
ACCA330 Financial Statement Analysis
ACCA412 Advanced Accounting
ACCA413 Fund Accounting
ACCA414 Auditing I
ACCA425 Fraud & Forensic Accounting
ACCA426 Internal Auditing I
ACCA427 Internal Auditing II

well that's the whole point, COB is NOT TEACHING these classes. They only offer them. In ACCA105 you learn how make paper planes. In ACCA 305 you refine your poker skills, ACCA426 no one signs up for, else they will never get a job with the Government. ACCA313 is the only useful class, as they teach you how to account for the child support payments for your out of wedlock kids.

lol..... but still.. true jhed

And stupid Perry talking about his "legacy". After we kick his ass out in 2017, I doubt any one would even engage him as a featured speaker.

he can still write a book and photoshop Obama into the pictures of the launching party. I bet some numberz boyz will buy up the whole issue to make him feel good.

Sad. Another wasted opportunity. Just announced that a Jamaican writer, Marlon James has won the Booker Prize for his novel about the Bob Marley shooting in 1976.

We do not have any scholars, and largely because of the education system and COB. Our young men have been socialised to pick up the gun, rather than the pen. We do not have a culture of learning and erudition.

St. Lucia, which is much smaller than the Bahamas has won the Nobel Prize in LIterature with Derek Walcott. ( I was at Ian Strachan's presentation in Nassau where he had a conversation with Walcott). Naipaul has won the Nobel Prize in Literature from Trinidad. Saint-John Perce who was born in Guadeloupe, won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Sir Arthur Lewis, also of St. Lucia has won the Nobel Prize in Economics.

We, as a nation, obviously don't care about learning. Heck, we don't even care about reading and books. Has anyone been to the library on Shirley Street lately? Other peer countries take the initiative. Many parts of the Caribbean have begun in recent years to host literary festivals, including in Trinidad and Tobago the NGC Bocas Lit Fest, in Jamaica the Calabash International Literary Festival, in Barbados Bim Literary Festival, in Dominica the Nature Island Literary Festival and Book Fair, Alliouagana Festival of the word in Montserrat, and the Antigua and Barbuda Literary Festival. Us, we have a festival to get half-naked and dance in the street while the government pays millions to it cronies, using the Carnival festival as its corruption vehicle.

The average Bahamian on the street cannot speak English, never mind write it.

It is a shame and a disgrace. It is shame that separates the civilized from the uncivilized.

COB has accounting degree is probably one of the strengths of the place. I know many accountants who came through that system, went abroad and realized they were more than prepared to excel. In fact some graduates pass the CPA exam without with their accounting degree in hand. The problems the college is facing has very little to do with the program and everything to do with the culture of the place- which my sources say is toxic. This is a tragedy.

I'm not surprised at all at the amount of ignorance in this forum. COB has accreditation to the point where other institutions, even European and American ones, are trying to become associated with the college to gain accreditation as well .Too even insinuate that the College is not a reputable institution of learning is beyond asinine.
We have scholars at the College who produce the bulk of ALL private research conducted in the COUNTRY. If you didn't know it's because you didn't bother to go looking or even read.
The problem with COB is it's very foundation in the COB act. which allows the government to politically appoint whichever crony they so desire. What do you think is the end result?
The processes at the college are also archaic, the current president is a dream seller, the financial situation has always been questionable, and politics should never have a place their and the institution needs to be autonomous.
I am not speaking as an outsider looking into the institution I speak as a student trying to make something of myself. But halfway through writing this I realize how pointless this is. Those words fall on blind eyes and deaf ears. Instead of fixing something good that we have and make it better we rather tear down and discredit without all the facts, that's not ignorance. That's the Bahamas...

And all of that research you give COB credit for has not done a hill of beans for the Bahamas. We'll no doubt now get COB researching why it can't produce annual audited financial statements on a timely basis......but it's practical real life solutions we Bahamians (and COB) need today.....not more bogus research!

bey what arrreeee you talkin about? these are schools in Afghanistan and Antarctica aye ???????? can't be Euro and US....... what we gone teach them? This is how you swindle and steal and don't even cover it up and still get away with it? Thats the only course of value at COB

So, so, what ya gonna do 'bout this prevailing culture of violence, crime and obliteration bro. Alex? Get out! Get out while there is yet time before the Atlantic ocean has completely covered up all of this Bahamas land area by 2050. Then make yourself available armed with the cat-o-nine tail to receive those we now call deities, when they attempt to step of their jets into the land where you reside, and try to used unearned funds to secure new residency.

*Facepalm*

Cool story bro, tell it again

well said<img src="http://s02.flagcounter.com/mini/rzN/bg_…" border="0" width="1" >

the truth be told the college of the Bahamas has produced some fine and successful students. All is not lost. But most people on this site belong to the gloom and doom club. All they see is darkness. It is to bad for them. ,

Nothing but a troll at work disseminating disinformation and misinformation and an opposing view on any and everything that suits their small warped mind. Where's that other one called Tal?

Well I guess you better include me too. . .MAY 2017. . .is my new battle cry! They must go. . .GOD SAVE THE BAHAMAS!!
